It’s gonna snow in Atlanta on Friday.
Currently, my weather app says 5-6″ of snow from Friday at noon through Saturday morning at about 6AM.
We’ll see. I always keep my expectations low, so I don’t get disappointed by just a few flurries.
I. Want. Snow!
Which brings me to the real point: WFH is awesome in “inclement” weather. My daughter and I are workmates for a few months until she gets married and moves to NC.
When we started seeing the weather reports saying it *might* snow, she got all excited, but then remembered that she’s got a “big girl job”.
No “snow days”. Gotta go to work.
But she works from home. I’m based at home, but like to get out and visit customer sites. She literally works 100% from home. No snow days.
But that’s one of the very best features of the hybrid workplace. If you think it’s gonna be another snowmageddon in Atlanta, you plan to WFH.
Because you can.
Because your workforce and processes are setup to be done from anywhere, even Atlanta in the snow. And if it doesn’t snow like I want it to, then nothing really changed, except you worked from home on Friday.
The office will still be there on Monday, when the snow will be long gone, and so will you.
Let the debate over WFH, RTO, or Hybrid rage on.
Then implement whatever works best for your business, tweaking as needed, and making sure the tech your employees have at the office is even better than their environment at home.
